2025 Developments
Beauty and personal care in Saudi Arabia experienced strong growth in 2025, outperforming global and regional averages. This robust performance is underpinned by a growing population exceeding 36 million and increasing consumer expenditure on discretionary personal care products, reflecting a favourable economic environment. The industry is highly attractive due to the accelerating digital consumer journey, which integrates social media discovery, influencer engagement and sophisticated e-commerce platforms, transforming purchasing behaviours and enabling omnichannel retailing. Leading companies are capitalising on this trend by enhancing both their physical presence and digital ecosystems and by leveraging partnerships with major e-commerce players and quick-commerce delivery services. Growth is also fuelled by consumer prioritisation of preventative, science-backed solutions that promote long-term skin and oral health, fostering demand for dermocosmetics and therapeutic oral care supported by trusted dermatologist and pharmacist endorsements. The industry’s premium and mass tiers are evolving, with consumers trading up for efficacy and lifestyle-oriented products, while value-conscious shoppers seek affordable yet sensorially appealing offerings. Successful brands must adopt innovation in product formulations and packaging tailored for digital engagement, develop omnichannel strategies that combine experiential retail with seamless online accessibility, and invest in social commerce and influencer collaborations to maintain relevance in this fast-changing landscape.
